I've gained 15 lbs over 4 months..!!!
Its safe to say I've gained 15lbs.
Over the summer, I ran every day. I walked home from work. I ate healthy, fresh, clean food. I cut out most booze and sugar. I felt AMAZING. My body was toned, and I was proud of how I looked. My husband commented on my stomach every day...
It got cold. Work got crazy. Life got more stressful and rushed. The good news? Due to my work-crazed mentality and complete disregard for my health, I got a major promotion at work. I can also now drink 10 cups of coffee a day and still somehow sleep like a baby at night.
I stopped exercising. I eat whatever I feel like. Then I feel guilty. I don't savour anything, I rush to eat and shovel food into my mouth. I'll drink wine at night before bed. I don't run anymore. I hardly go outside. My BM's are infrequent and I know that toxins aren't leaving my body like they should be.
No surprises that I've gained 15 lbs. In fact, because I'm stuck at my in-laws all this week, I can tell you with complete honestly, I haven't had a vegetable since the 26th. (They are meat/starch/cheese people)
How can I get motivated to get back on track? I LOVE clean/healthy eating and enjoy exercise. I need to get back on track but the idea of losing 15 lbs is so discouraging. Especially since I was there and can remember it.
Advice? I already know my body is sentitive to carbs so I'm thinking of cutting way back on those, however I need something to jump start this weight-loss.
HELP?
God that sounds so familiar, except I kept running and still gained 10 pounds back from my last successful weight loss of 13 pounds. I'm almost back where I started. What the hell was I eating that I kept running and still gained? I got a new job that goes at an insane pace. I take home work, come in on weekend, just to keep my head above the water. Damned these jobs that get in the way of my good habits!
My motivator, my pants are tight again and I refuse to buy new ones. So job be damned I need to get in the drivers seat again. I just joined the "be realistic lose 10 pounds by the end of March" string. Come along and join us!
